Maruti Ertiga get record 10k+ booking in first 5 days

Maruti Ertiga MPV’s magical LUV love seems to be in the air now. Five days and over 10,000 bookings is what Ertiga is all about. This unprecedented number of booking is a clear indication that Maruti as a brand is what India trusts the most. And why not when the car makers offers such excellent offerings as the MPV Ertiga. Launched on the April 12 at an incredibly affordable price starting at 5.89 lakh the Ertiga is on its way to create a history.

Notably, Maruti has initially expected the bookings to go to 5000 in the initial month but it has far exceeded the expectations and has gone above 10,000 + bookings. Experts believe that the unprecedented bookings are all due to the features and low price of the car. Also, the Ertiga is able to fetch the Toyota Innova and Chevrolet Tavera prospective buyers towards it. As per sources, those car buyers who wished to upgrade to an MPV were eagerly waiting for the Ertiga launch and thus the initial bookings is the result of this. Also, the Ertiga diesel price which is Rs 7.31 lakh is quite impressive and it has fetched the maximum response from car buyers.

Measuring 4.2 metres, the Maruti MPV promises all that its segment leaders and much high prices cars offer. The Ertiga price and features match much more than other cars in this segment including the Mahindra Xylo. Another factor that has helped Ertiga fetch much response from car buyers is its comfort level. A seating for seven people with dual ac vents ensures that the ride is as cozy for the third row as it is for the first. Besides, the headroom at the third row is also reasonably well for two six footers. Initial reviews of the test rides of Ertiga all have suggested that the car has a bright future and Maruti’s foray in this segment will be worth it.
